New demonym just mutated: gender/queer.
As in genderqueer or ... Sexqueer?
I gotta be honest, I still adore the simpliciry of MOGAI, tbqh.
Speakable, categorised, and (not completely, unfortunately, but mostly) inclusive.
I know queer isn't something every member of mistreatment person interactions is comfortable with.
There probably isn't "a" solution.
I do like gender/queer for most cis hets and MOGAI for in-group comms.

With the beginning of pride month, let's remember that we have pride because Marsha P. Johnson and others refused to comply, be exploited, be jailed and be physically assaulted anymore; it became a riot...a protest... not a parade.

This year for pride, I say "we will never forget".

WE WILL NEVER FORGET

* The companies that turned their backs on us
* The government sponsored genocide of our trans family
* The removal of our rights and freedoms at the whim of a despot
* The promise of "I have your back" was nothing more than political propaganda
* The loss of our beloved community to suicide and addiction bc of the oppression and discrimination
* The trauma of having our freedoms being determined by political rhetoric, movements, and money.

Perhaps this year, instead of saying "Happy Pride!"... we perhaps might instead say "Show your pride!" Meaning engage in resistance versus celebration. We have a lot of work to do.

Watching King of Drag on the Revry channel. That's my vibe since last night's fundraiser.

Tonight, a drag bingo event in #tennessee is raising money for my LGBTQ+ non-profit. I'll be registering people to vote, helping people verify their voter registration status, and helping them know where and when to vote... especially given we have been gerrymandered to the nth degree.

Simultaneously, my non profit is helping to rescue a trans teen (18 year old) who just graduated from high school and whose home has not been safe at all. We're moving him to a safe houseand we're getting him connected to resources, buying food and a phone for him, and helping him with getting employment. This is how I have been fighting back for many years. Every single step we make matters.

Judge halts Trump’s “retaliatory” investigations of major trans medical groups
He cited “extensive evidence of animus and wafer-thin justifications.”

Internalized Prejudice.

“The gay community can be hypocritical at times, just like the straight community. Some people say it’s more accepting and less judgmental, but that isn’t always true. People can still be criticized for their looks, who they’re attracted to, where they go, what they do, or what they wear. Even though the community understands what it’s like to face hate and discrimination, those same behaviors can sometimes show up within the community itself.”

I learned today that my staff and I are being dropped by our health insurance company,
BCBS-TN, on May 1. This is how small, queer businesses are treated in #tennessee. Not 30 days... not even two weeks notice to try and come to with health insurance coverage for all of us. Fuuuuuuuuuck health insurance companies.
